Fender to launch new American Vintage, Mustang, and Tone Master amps this year – here’s everything you need to know
Fender has unveiled a hefty new drop of brand new products coming this year, with some exciting additions to its American Vintage, Mustang, and Tone Master amplifier collections.
All due to land during September and October, the new amps join a range of new gear – including new pedals, new Squier models, and much more – expanding the Fender product range. Executive Vice President of Product and Sales, Justin Norvell, says these new launches reflect Fender’s “commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and tone”.

Both the American Vintage and Tone Master lines are gaining one new model each, while two new amps and brand new footswitch are due to join the Mustang range. We’ve got the details on each new amp below:
American Vintage: ‘62 Super Amplifier ($2499.99 USD/£2,439 GBP)
This amp pays homage to the Fender ‘brown panel’ amplifiers that bridged the gap between the “raw tone” of ‘50s-era tweed amps and the sparkling tone of mid-’60s ‘black panel’ amps.
Fender says this amp has “an incredibly warm and woody sound” when played clean, but can blossom into “sweet overdrive when cranked”. It offers a phase-shifting harmonic tremolo and dual 6L6 power tubes pushing 40 watts through two 10” Celestion Custom Design speakers. It is available in September 2025.

Mustang Series: Mustang LTX50 & Mustang LTX100 ($299.99-$399.99 USD, £329-£419 GBP)
Joining the “world’s most popular guitar amplifier line”, these new Mustang LTX models both have an intuitive user interface, 50 amp and effect models spanning a range of genres, 100 preset slots, a configurable signal path, and an integrated colour display with an on-board tuner. Available in both 50- and 100-watts, they also both house a 12” Fender special design speaker and support an optional five-button footswitch (LTX-5 Footswitch, $129.99 USD/£99.99 GBP). Built-in Bluetooth also lets players jam with tracks or get creative with presets through the Fender Tone app. Both amps and the footswitch are arriving in September.

Tone Master: Tone Master FR-12 Tweed ($649.99 USD/£579 GBP)
The FR-12 Tweed is a full-range, flat-response powered speaker made for use with digital guitar amp modellers and profilers. As more guitarists than ever are gigging with Quad Cortex’s (and soon the new Line 6 Helix Stadium models), this amp brings vintage aesthetic to players with a modern rig.
It’s covered in classic ‘50s-era tweed with a brown striped grille cloth, and “faithfully replicates every nuance of amp simulations”. It comes equipped with a 1,000-watt integrated amplifier, and features a three-band active EQ and a high-frequency cut control, allowing players to fine-tune their onstage sound without affecting the line out signal sent to the PA system. This one lands in October.
